i dont want to be bombarded by menus when i want to jump, i dont want the game to control my experience by auto jumping, i want to be in control of what my character does. Jumping doesnt have to be annoying, ffxiv uses realistic animations, and believe it or not, jumping is realistic, go outside and try it, i dare you. hell even "unrealistic" jumping is possible. Youtube the word "parkour"

Fact is, people that want jumping, dont exclusively want it to scale small ledges. we want it because it does ADD more to a game if the developers allow it so. believe it or not, 3D games have three dimensions. X. Y. Z. One's depth, one's width, the other is height.

The current terrain is based only around X and Y travel, making it seem VERY linear, cause it is. Add a new dimension. and you have a whole new element to gameplay, to think otherwise is simple and utter close-mindedness and a failure to think outside of what you're used to in this game.
